Re: pre-release testing version of gnuplot 5.2.4

[Erik L. <eri...@gm...>]

Hi,

The macOS (OS X) executable of 5.2.4 is available here:

https://csml-wiki.northwestern.edu/index.php/Binary_versions_of_Gnuplot_for_OS_X

I can confirm that the logscale problem is resolved, at least for the
trigger example given by Ethan

Best,

Erik
